ALBERT DROVE THROUGH the empty streets, glancing in the rearview mirror every few minutes. Vince and Vera were unconscious in the backseat with their small bodies slumped against each other. His hands tightened on the steering wheel as he thought about what he was doing. He knew this was risky, but he had a plan.“They’ll never see this coming,” Albert muttered to himself. He was using the children as leverage to force Ezekiel into giving him a lot of money. Something big enough to get him what he wanted. But there was more to it than that. Albert needed Alex to trust him again. He had made mistakes before, and she had been angry. But this... this would make up for everything.As he drove, his mind wandered to Alex. Albert knew—deep down—that sometimes she was just using him. He could see it in the way she talked to him, the way she treated him like he was just a tool for her plans. But even after knowing that, Albert couldn’t help but follow her. That was how much he loved her. S

ALEX’S LIPS FORMED a wicked smirk as she watched Ezekiel’s car racing down the road, falling perfectly into her trap. She sat comfortably in her chair, eyes locked on the screen that displayed the live footage from the hidden cameras she had strategically placed. The satisfaction she felt was almost tangible as she watched the car drive straight into her carefully laid plan.“Hook, line, and sinker,” she murmured to herself, enjoying the sight of them heading exactly where she wanted.Her thoughts drifted back to what happened earlier. Alex had never fully trusted Albert to carry out her plans without a hitch. He was useful, yes, but he had his flaws—his emotions often clouded his judgment, especially where she was concerned. That’s why Alex decided to have another man follow Albert, someone who wouldn’t let personal feelings get in the way of the task at hand.She hired a professional, a man who knew how to stay out of sight while keeping a close eye on everything. His job was simp

EZEKIEL There was so much fury in my chest right after hearing what Alex said. I couldn’t believe she could do this to my kids!I gritted my teeth, barely able to contain the frustration boiling inside me. How could she kidnap the twins and put their lives at stake?! It took every ounce of control I had to keep myself from completely losing it.But Vivienne—she was falling apart right beside me. Tears streamed down her face, and the sight of her in such pain only made my anger worse. “Hush, Vienne.” I wrapped my arms around her, trying to console her, even though I was fuming mad inside.“Zeke, the kids…” she couldn’t finish her sentence without sobbing. She buried her face in my chest, sobbing harder, and I tightened my hold on her.Then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Alex. Vivienne pulled away from me just enough to check her phone. Her hands trembled as she opened the message. Alex had sent over the bank account details and a location where she claimed she would ret

VINCE KNEW THAT their time was running out. He glanced over at Vera, who was huddled close to him and looking scared. They had to move quickly before anyone noticed they were no longer tied up.They started at the door, praying that the footsteps would go away. Fortunately, no one came in. With that, Vince placed back Alex’s phone on the desk and turned to his sister. "Vera, we need to get out of here," Vince whispered urgently. “I thought we’d stay quiet?” Vera asked innocently. “We will. But we’re gonna do it while escaping since we could be doomed once they notice we’re no longer on ropes,” Vince explained. “Okay.” "We’re going to use the chairs to reach that window." Vera followed Vince’s gaze to the small, high window on the wall. It was their only way out, and Vince was determined to make it work. He moved quietly, grabbing one of the chairs they had been sitting on earlier and dragging it under the window. The chair scraped against the floor, making a faint noise, but Vin

ALBERT AND RUEL were getting frustrated as they searched the dark warehouse for Vince and Vera. “Those sneaky little brats! This is why I don’t want children! Alex better pay me enough money after this,” Ruel uttered as he looked for the twins. “What a pain in the ass!” Albert seconded.Ruel’s patience was wearing thin, and Albert, usually the calmer one, was starting to show signs of agitation as well.The place was a maze of crates and shadows, and every corner seemed to hold another hiding spot. Alex stood by, watching the two of them fumble through the search. Her anger was building with each passing second. How could two kids manage to slip through their grasp like this? It was infuriating. Alex had never been one to let anything or anyone get the better of her, and she certainly wasn’t going to start now.She reached into her coat and pulled out her gun, her fingers tightening around the grip. If those brats thought they could outsmart her, they were in for a harsh lesson.
